Dance Exchange (Not Final Name)

A common understanding of each others differences and the joy of sharing is amongst the youngsters one of the greatest things you can do. In the hip hop community we have a saying of “Each one, teach one” and this we want to bring to another level by having the youngsters share their joy of dance, and teach each other their styles of dance, whether it is urban, classical, folk dance or any other type of dance. We want to bring the joy of expressing yourself through a creative and active lifestyle in a common language of dance. Dance is a universal language.
Each national group will have a task of teaching the other participants a style of dance, which is typical for them, any style is welcome.
Young dancers are asking for new opportunities to share their passion, and they want to learn from others and create new styles of dance. We want to bring different cultures together and create a save space for sharing. The main source of expression will be through dance activities, but we also wish to invite others to share their experience through games and debates.

Our objectives are in relation to Erasmus+ and we want to help people get a better sense of what cultures mean to ourselves and others, and how can we bring together different cultures?
